The Independents Anniversary.

The Independent Hook and Ladder
Company celebrated its first anniversary
on Friday, 4th inst Promptly at 5
o'clock in the afternoon the Company as
sembled at their Truck house, where they
were Joined by the Pioneer Steam Fire
Engine Company, which had been invited
to participate in the celebration. The
Companies were then formed in aprocess-
, ion, headed by the Young America Cor
net Band, and, after parading through
several streets, halted on the Court House
Square, where both Companies INDUCED
in little practice, while the Band dis
coursed sweet music. The sidewalks,
windows and verandas around the west
side of the Square were crowded with
people, all of whom were charmed with
the handsome appearance of the fremen.
The Hook and Ladder Truck, trimmed
in some pretty floral decorations, looked as
neat as new pin, and the Pioneers
steamer looked as bright as gold dollar,
while the iremen, in their handsome uni
forms, never appeared to better adyan-
tage. After making sc7eral fine runs, the
Companies repaired 10 their houses, and
were dismissed until 0 o'clock p. m., when
they re assembled at their halls, and from
there, accompanied by the officers OF the
Denartment the Band, the Mayor and
CITY Council and representatives of the
local press, marched to the Benson House
to partake of an oyster supper Mine
host" Mr.. White, was ready for the fire.
men and their guests, and when they
reached the hotel were at once marched
into the commodious dining-reom and
seated around the festive board. After
brief prayer from Chief Diver, attentive
porters surrounded the table, and the
crowd was furnished with oysters in abun-
dance-raw, stewed or fried. 1t was
glorious feast. When everybody had
| disposed of as many of the tempting bi-
valves as possible, cigars were passed
around, and then Chief DiYver, Mayor
Tolly, Maj. A. s. Todd, G. G. Langston,
G. s. sullivan, Foster FAINT, G. F. Jones,
T. F. Hill, w. A. Vandiver, J. NJ. Cath
cart and DR.. E. G. Frierson were called
upon and responded in short speeches.
The majority of the crowd then repaired
to the parlor, and were highly entertain
ed for. awhile with some excellent music
on the piano by Miss Leila White.
It was undoubtedly the most pleasant
occasion of the kind we have ever attend :
ed, and we think it worthy Of mention
that there was not drop of intoxicating
liquors to be seen during the evening. Ii
there was one present under the influence
of liquor, we could not detect it. This
speaks well for our firemen and the city,
for IL is q rare thing to see seventy-iye
young men gathered together on such an
occasion without few being under the
influence of liquor.
We extend our congratulations 10 the
Independents, and hope that the present
members may live to celebrate many an
njversaries.

why Steaks Are Poor.

aPeople complain about their steaks" /" said
/ caterer recently. "They say they are tough,
IF poor flavor, and Of undesirable quality
generally. They wonder what is the reason
they cannot get good steaks" One gentleman
said to me the other day: aIpay eighteen cents
a pound for my steaks and can't begin to
get as good steak as you serve
"Your butcher does not keep it; that's the
reason you can't get it," replied. II pay
twenty-five cents for each pound of loin steak
used in my restaurant, and the half of that
is waste use no beef over 3 years old, and
that steer beef. When cow has served her
purposes or an OK has been worked out the
creature does not make good beef by fatten-
ing The beef, in fact, is unfit for food.
There will always be poor steaks, even at
eighteen cents . pound, when such cattle are
converted into beef. Besides this, beef should
be hung in an ice house and not eaten until
the nerves are tender. &c Chicago News.

down In the pubic estimation.
Gihsomis now over 20 years of age, but is
sti vigorous and has forgotten none of the
tricks Of his youth. His latest adventure of
apiivate nature was to engage himself to
charming young California book agent. The
young lady, whose name, by the way, is Miss
St Clair, began to prepare for the marriage
when the old man backed out. At last ac-
counts she was about to bring suit against
Gibson, placing the damages at 100000.
King Kalakaua was at one time very popu-
lar with his people, and he can no doubt
thank Gibson for the present state of affairs
In his younger days he was very fair mon
arch, taking much interest in the welfare of
bis people and doing much to win their con-
fidence Within the past five years. how
ever, Kaiakaua has given himself up to
very unking1y life, and the weakening effects
show themselves in the present political
trouble. Three hundred dancing girls are
retained for the kings private entertainment,
and heis SO given to debauchery that he can
not expect to live much longer He may be
allowed to remain on the throne out of re-
spect to what he has been, but he will never
again be given any power. AS will be seen
by the telegraphic dispatches, Gibson may
consider himself lucky if he escapes with his
life. JOSEPH E. GAME.

incompetent Typewriter operators.

1nCOmpetcHC typewriter operators.
It is quite surprising thing to observe how
.iany incompetent typewriter operators there
are. Their incompetency springs from wrong
instruction or no instruction at all. An en-
ployer does not notice 1t, though, unless he
happens to be an operator himself. Go into
any large business house where number of
typewriters are in use and you will see that
no two in dozen are fingered properly. In
fact it seems as il the operator never heard
that each letter should be touched with a
certain finger, according to the word it is in,
and that each hand should do an equal share
of the work. Some use only the forefinger of
each hand, others only two fingers on each
hand, while the number of those who strike
the space bar with their finger instead of with
the thumb is legion It would be impossible
to keep count of those who use their right.
